"Originating in Côte-Saint-Paul and created by Dougan (though he is no longer the owner), this breakout spot is where he devised the jerk chicken poutine that has since become a staple across town. The business began in 2015 as a catering project out of his parents’ garage before he opened his first brick-and-mortar on Anger Street—after securing a $98,000 loan to install ventilation—an early period he describes as starting from nothing, even sleeping on a basement couch." - Valerie Silva
